This book provides a broad introduction to the optimization techniques used in the design and manufacturing of epicyclic gearing.
A wide variety of optimization techniques are covered, with a strong focus on practical application. The formulation of the underlying mathematical models and the algorithms for solving them are explained, which are then applied to solve real-world problems in epicyclic gearing. Figures and charts are provided to convey the intuition behind the various approaches. Each chapter includes a detailed case study based on a real-world application of epicyclic gearing. The case studies highlight the realities and challenges in the design optimization of epicyclic gearing systems, illustrate the application of optimization techniques in a real-world context, compare different optimization techniques in terms of performance, ease of use, etc., and identify the areas of future work.
Suitable for gear professionals and researchers alike, the book will be of interest to those in the fields of mechanical engineering, statistics, computer science, aerospace, automotive engineering, and operations research.
